Shujwud-daula and Shah’ Alam attempt to attack Farrukhabad.t 
When Shah ’Alam returned from his unsuccessful campaign against 
Bengal, Shuja’-ud-daula moved out to meet him as far as Sarde Raja, near 
the Karannasa, in the Benares district, and conducted him thence to Jajmau, 
by way of Jhusi and Allahabad. After the rains, in Rabi 1175 H. (October 
1761), the Emperor moved to Kalpi and thence to Jhansi. On their return 
to Allahabad, some time in the year 1176 H. (23rd July, 1762—12th July, 
1763), Shuja’-ud-daula persuaded the Emperor to join him in a campaign 
against Ahmad Khan of Farrukhabad. 
Three reasons are assigned for this attack on Nawab Ahmad Khan. 
The first, which was no doubt used to influence the Emperor, was as follows, 
The news-writer sent letters to Shuja’-ud-daula, informing him of Ahmad 
Khan’s daily life and stating that he rode in a pa/ki, that he caused elephants 
to fight, that he had established a Gwldl bari or royal pavilion, and had assum- 
ed other privileges of royalty. Shuja’-ud-daula writhed like a snake when 
he read this, and at once he made a minute report to the Emperor, adding 
that to mount the throne was the only step, which now remained for 
Ahmad Khan to take. The Emperor, being incensed at Ahmad Khan’s 
supposed presumption, readily agreed to join in the campaign. 
A second reason, and probably a better-founded one, is said to have 
been a quarrel over the occupation of the territory evacuated by the Mah- 
* Both in Bhartpur territory, the former 20 and the latter 10 miles north of 
Bhartpur.
